About Lake Petersburg

Lake Petersburg is less than 25 miles from Springfield, IL and located between the city of Petersburg and historic Lincoln's New Salem State Park in Central Illinois. With 14 miles of shoreline and almost 200 acres in size, it is large enough for boating and fishing, but rural enough to provide a relaxing quality of life to its residents. 

The 18-hole Shambolee Golf Course is located adjacent to the west edge of the Lake Petersburg development. Fishing and boating is restricted to families of lake homeowners and lot owners (along with their guests.) All houses at Lake Petersburg are located on lake front lots.
